Okay This Is The Last Gary Paulsen Post, I Promise.

Here are a few other Gary Paulsen books that I've read. I'm rating them on a 1-5 scale
                                                (Hatchet was a 2)


Mudshark:  2- I thought the idea of "Mudshark" was kind of like Encyclopedia Brown but (a. you don't get to solve it yourself and (b. it wasn't as interesting. Here's a basic summary: A kid nicknamed "Mudshark" notices lot's of little things that no one else does so he's like a detective for all the kids at his school. Then a parrot moves into the library and he figures out stuff just like  "Mudshark". zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Bor-ing. You see where this is going. Also there are only two. TWO! Girl characters beside this weird librarian.😡One is about as smart as your average football player, the other is obsessed with making weird smells. I have to say it was definitely not  my favorite book.

                                   
 Lawn Boy: 3.4- I have to say I liked Lawn Boy much more than "Mudshark". . In it a twelve year old boy starts a lawn-mowing business and gets rich. What made it so good was that it tought me something about creating a business and his mom solves the problem in like three seconds.  It's a short read but I'd say it's almost worth it.


Lawn Boy Returns: 3.1- I didn't like Lawn Boy Returns as much as Lawn Boy. There wasn't as much info and it was sort of the same plot as Lawn Boy. Yeah . .. . . . . that's it folks.
